that would be a good start. you could find a nice used car and maybe get some hopups already on it for about the same price. if you want to go new, it's not a bad deal.

Brian, I think you must have missed the details of that auction - it's a massive rip off - that is an old i-series that we sold for $105 w/ free shipping, and they are charging $149.99 + $16.75 shipping! We have the new i-series 2 for $129.99 w/ free shipping:

Saman2014, this is a very bad deal and I'd be very suspicious of that seller based on that one auction.

Saman, I SERIOUSLY recommend this car.
MA-010 Calsonic skyline readyset.
Most cars you purchase as a readyset will have a body that won't work so well for racing. The calsonic skyline is a great racing body, its the same as that picture I sent you except blue. You can save money by purchasing this set and not having to buy a race body. Another plus about the body is that it can be easily dremeled to fit a 98mm chassis, which is what I recommend you do. Also, a laydown crystal adapter is not needed for it. Furthermore it comes with a spoiler mounted on it that is interchangeable with other mini-z spoilers, so you can choose what kind of ridiculous wing you want to put on it. Yeah, i know you like that stuff.

I agree with Mini-Z. Check used auctions or get new from the store here. That deal isnt good at all. The main board of the car isnt very good, compared to most of the stock boards of AM frequency cars that are around these days. There are no brakes, and the FETs arent as good.
I would advise to look for 3010 fets, the I-series come with 3004 fets (without brake). Most cars sold used now will have the 3010 fets, which can handle more powerful motors than the 3004 fets.
Do you already have a 27mhz AM transmitter?

yes, I missed that,
I would personally steer clear of the i-series, they are very prone to glitching and typically sale for alot less.
thanks D, for correcting me, I'd hate to point someone in the wrong direction.
you should pass on this and keep looking !

Core is a timing system, I tested the GT-R body and it works fine with core.

Thanks for the reassurance Im sure ill make up my mind weather to get the mini-z, the new skateboard, or that really big and fast shooting airsoft gun. which all happen to be in the same price range (dammit this will be a tough decision)

Go for the Z. If you want an airsoft gun, I have a Classic Army M-15 carbine that I'll probably never use again, two hi cap mags and li-po battery, tight bore barrel and a rather banged up Sunproject M203 with a Madbull rocket shell. Also a nice M9 gas blow back pistol. We might could work out a deal or somethin. You know, provided your parents approved.

Saman, you left your skateboard outside... Only parts that go bad in rain are the deck and the bearings. Decks are around 50 and bearings are around 20. The bearings might actually be fine, though, its likely the deck was ruined. I might have a spare deck or bearings around my house but they won't be brand new.

I think your right, ill go for the mini-z. Its not like ill find any local games to use that 430 fps $158 JG M4 with a 5k bb hi-cap box mag. How much for the Classic Army? I already have a Spring M4 with a broken mag, Electric 200fps Boyi M4, Spring I dont know what brand G3 SG, 150 Fps Electric Mini Uzi, and a Spring P22 with universal holster. Quite a collection of ****ty guns.
Brandon, dont you ever stop giving? haha. I tested my board out and the only thing that got damaged was my bearings which were already ****ty, they just got worse. My grip tape was screwed up from the start so there was no difference. I think ill just get an entirely knew board altogether. Or i could bring it 2 hobbytown for you to look at.
